Database Lookup Printing 6
You can download a database linked to a template, scan a barcode as a keyword to find a record containing
that keyword, and then insert that record into the template to print.
Note
• The Label Printer has reserved the leftmost column (A) of a downloaded linked database for this operation,
therefore the keyword scanned from a barcode must be in this column of the database.
• For the Label Printer to find keywords successfully, the data in the leftmost column (A) must exactly match
the keywords scanned from a barcode.
• P-touch Editor and the Label Printer can read only one line of data in each field of a linked database so
we do not recommend using databases with two or more lines of data in the leftmost column (A).
• For more information on the barcodes that can be scanned using various settings, see List of Barcodes
for the P-touch Template Function on page 122.
a Use P-touch Editor to create a template and connect to a database file. You can link as many columns
to a text and barcode objects in the template as needed.
Note
Make sure the keywords are included in the leftmost column (A) but do not link any text or barcode object
in the template with field (A) if you do not need that data on the printed label.
For more information on specifying the settings, refer to the P-touch Editor Help.
b Using P-touch Transfer Manager, transfer (from P-touch Editor) a template (label layout) to the Label
Printer. For more information, see How to Use P-touch Transfer Manager and P-touch Library
(Windows
®
only) on page 74.
The linked database file will also be transferred.
c When a template is transferred to Configurations in P-touch Transfer Manager, the Key Assign
number is automatically assigned.
Note
You can add a custom folder under Configurations, and drag-and-drop a transferred template into that
custom folder to manage different sets of templates.
d Select the transferred template and then click Transfer to download the template to the Key Assign
number in the Label Printer.
